The female Iris oratoria I acquired last fall was fertile. The Ooths are hatching today in the micro orchid terrariums.

What’s their level of cannibalism? Do they need to be isolated? Thanks.

Caught in Tucson so care is the micro climate indoors. 50% humidity, temps vary at the SE Window.

Humidity seems a bit high. This is an arid/dry species. Fairly cannibalistic but not any more so than most “typical” species. I would separate and feed ffs
 
they are quite cannibalistic, but if you keep them well fed enough they shouldn't have to eat each other, separate them as soon as possible. (+ lower humidity a little, but someone has already said that)
